Modifying Photo and Photo Collection Properties

Photo data can be viewed and modified in the photo collection property sheet and photo list. Information displayed in the property sheet refers to the collection that is currently selected in the collections list, while information in the photo list is specific to each photo.

Information about the photo collections and photos (e.g., coordinate system, sensor width, focal length, photo position information) is generally read from a loaded Excel or XML file that includes this information. These parameters can then be adjusted in the collection property sheet and photo list.

Properties can be edited even after aerotriangulation, up until the reconstruction step starts. When rebuilding, if any change was made to photo/collection properties, the build is restarted from pre-aerotriangulation.

To display and modify photo collection properties:

1.     In the Project Tree, select the Photos group.

2.     In the collection property sheet, modify the property value as required. See "Collection Property Sheet" in this chapter for more information.

To display and modify photo properties:

Note:        You can also search the list for the required photos. See "Selecting Items Using the Item List" in the "Basic Concepts" chapter for information.
